Archive: Go ahead, just tell me where it's going..
Summary: : Legolas loves Aragorn, and in his heart, Aragorn feels the same. But instead of following his heart he follows his head, which tells him his love is wrong.
Note: First story in a loooooooong time... Not original, I know. But it was so much fun to do! *grins* I read somewhere that 'If you're...' was the perfect A/L song, and I agreed. The idea of writing a story in this way, sort of video-clip-perspective, is something I've wanted to do for quite a while ever since I read something like this on the internet.
The title is also the title of the song this fic is based on, sung by Daniel Bedingfield.
~~~
If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call?
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all?
~~~
We can see Aragorn standing on an open field, with a woman. As the camera zooms in we recognize her as Arwen. They are talking together, and seem to be enjoying themselves. There's another person behind them, watching them.
Vaguely at first, but then Aragorn turns around to see who's looking at him and sees it's Legolas. He's just standing there, with a strange look in his eyes, as if he is sad. Aragorn and Legolas lock eyes for a few seconds, until Arwen gestures for her husband to come. He nods and hesitantly followes her. After a few metres he turns around again to look at Legolas, but he's gone.
~~~
I never know what the future brings
But I know you're here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
~~~
The scenery is the same field, only weeks or months later. This time Aragorn is seemingly alone, kneeling to what looks like a rock at first. When the camera zooms in it turns out to be a tomb stone.
The engravings are blurry, but we can guess what it says because Aragorn is in tears. Suddenly, Legolas appears behind him and puts a hand on his shoulder. Aragorn looks around to see who it is, and then quickly whipes the tears away. He stands up and the two men hug, We can see the pain in Legolas' eyes, not only because of the loss of Arwen.
~~~
I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
~~~
It's night, and the two men are sitting next to eachother looking at a campfire. They are talking to eachother, though we can't hear what they are saying because of the music. Legolas glances at Aragorn every once in a while, mostly listening to what the other man is saying.
~~~
If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?
~~~
Then, all of a sudden, he leans in and kisses Aragorn softly on the lips. It lasts for only a short while, until Aragorn pulls back in surprise. Legolas bowes his head as if in shame, but Aragorn lifts Legolas' head and this time he kisses Legolas. The kiss grows more and more feverishly, and they start to undress eachother. The scene fades away
~~~
If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife man?
~~~
into another one, wher they are both lying on the ground in eachother's arms, sleeping.
~~~
I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
~~~
Day again, both are in a room we don't reckognize. Legolas is sitting on a bed, and Aragorn is walking through the room talking. They seem to be arguing about something, we can guess about what. Aragorn looks at Legolas in frustration, Legolas just looks back. When he says something, Aragorn turns around and leaves the room. Legolas falls down on his back, and the scene fades in the next
~~~
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray that you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life
~~~
where they are both sitting on the bed, talking again. Aragorn is crying, but when he tries to say something Legolas places a finger on Aragorn's lips to silence him. Then he stands up and leaves Aragorn alone in the room.

I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand

A battle. Legolas and Aragorn are, amongst others, fighting against Orcs. After a few moments the fighting stops and they sit down between the dead Orcs. The other men who were fighting leave, and only Aragorn and Legolas remain. Legolas says something to Aragorn, who shakes his head. When Legolas puts a hand on Aragorn's knee, he stands up and leaves the elf alone.
The camera follows Aragorn until he turns around as if he heard something. We can see Legolas falling down on the ground, two arrows sticking from his chest. A surviving Orc is standing behind him, grinning. Aragorn gets his sword and kills the last Orc, but when he kneels next to Legolas it seems to be too late. Legolas is struggling to stay concious, but when Aragorn tries to help him up he shakes his head. Aragorn then realises it's too late, and sits down next to Legolas.
They hold hands for a minute, and then the music gets a little quieter so we can hear what they say. 'I love you..." Aragorn is tearing, but nods and says "I love you too.." Legolas smiles a last time, and then closes his eyes. Aragorn tries to wake him up, but when that doesn't work he picks Legolas up and takes him somewhere else. Fade to next scene.
~~~
'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my life and pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
And know my heart is by your side
~~~
There's a whole crowd standing somewhere in a circle. Amongst a lot of unfamiliar faces we see Aragorn standing in front of another stone. With tears in his eyes he steps forward and says something to the crowd, and everyone leaves. Aragorn shakes his head, talking, then screaming. He falls on his knees next to the tomb stone that is placed next to the one Aragorn was looking at in the beginning.
~~~
I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
~~~
Aragorn is standing on a cliff, looking over water. When the camera moves down we can see a lot of sharp rocks in the water beneath the cliff. The camera moves back to Aragorn, who is looking at the sky. Then, as if he made a decision,
~~~
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
~~~
he takes a deep breath and steps off the cliff. The camera follows him until he is a few feet above the rocks, and then stops. We don't see him fall, but can imagine what has happened. Then the camera shows the top of the cliff again, this time with Legolas who appears to be waiting for someone. Suddenly, Aragorn appears next to him. They smile, and together they wander off and dissapear.
